At night, the Pyroxene Tavern was a place for the lowly to have fun.
Diafis was strictly managed. Every entrance to the tavern was guarded by specialized gang members.
No one was allowed to bring a weapon. At the same time, the Akron gang was responsible for protecting their lives.
It was fair.
Except for a few reckless low-level adventurers, most people would abide by this rule, which was not particularly excessive. For the former, their bodies would be found in the drainage the next day.
Never provoke the local tyrant. This was the rule of survival for adventurers.
However, for Ma Wen, he had to make an exception tonight.
If people did not offend him, he would not offend them. This was Ma Wen's principle. If the Akron gang dared to assassinate him, they had to be prepared for his revenge.
As early as nightfall, he was ready for everything. He held two swords in his hands, two daggers and a spare machete hanging from his waist. This was his weight limit. Any more and it would affect his dexterity.
On his face, he wore a black mask, enough to cover half of his face. It was not that he wanted to hide, but experience had taught him that the more mysterious something was, the more it would cause fear.
Today, he was going to unleash his fear in the Akron gang's territory!
…
The guards in the Pyroxene Tavern were not a problem for him. He knew that taverns like this usually had one place that was the weakest.
The kitchen.
He had already heard from the slums that every day, people would transport vegetables, fruits, and wine barrels to the storeroom at a fixed time. They entered and exited from the kitchen.
The security here was also the laziest.
At 7: 30 in the evening, the cart carrying vegetables and fruits arrived as scheduled. Two guards immediately stepped forward and began to check the contents of the cart.
At this time, Ma Wen, who had activated Stealth, successfully broke in.
The kitchen was filled with a fishy smell. The two chefs were cooking cautiously, not daring to look at him.
In the corner, there was a burst of sobbing.
Ma Wen frowned slightly.
Two ordinary members of the Akron Mafia were beating up a poor little girl!
The little girl was very strong and stubborn. She looked to be only five or six years old, but in the face of the two adults' beating, she could only involuntarily sob, unwilling to beg for mercy or cry loudly.
"Your mother is already dead! Remember, get the hell away from me! Damn it, even the daughter of a whore is so stubborn! "
A skinny man cursed, "She actually dared to ask us for money. She accepted all kinds of customers, and in the end, she died of illness. She deserved it!"
"Liar!" The little girl who had her hair pulled shouted angrily, "She still has a lot of money with you! She's not dead! She needs the money. I can get a priest to save her! Give me the money! "
"Go to hell!" Another person slapped the little girl's face.
The latter almost fainted from the slap. His face was swollen, and the corner of his eye was bleeding!
"Give me money!" The stubborn little girl gritted her teeth and roared with all her might.
The two of them looked at each other. The thin man clenched his fist and nodded.
Ma Wen knew that they were going to kill her.
Clang!
A machete was pulled out. The two chefs were so scared that their hands trembled and their faces turned pale.
"Do your job!" The thin man sneered, "You didn't see anything."
One of the younger chefs' knuckles had turned white as he gripped the machete. He gritted his teeth. In addition to fear, there was also anger in his eyes.
"Don't be impulsive." The other older chef pulled him back, revealing a sad expression. "This is not something we can handle."
The thin man gripped the machete and grabbed the little girl's shoulder.
The little girl was powerless to struggle. She could only stare at him with a deathly gaze.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable. It was as if he was being stared at by a ghost.
"Little bitch, die!" The thin man scolded.
A cold light flashed.
Blood sprayed out and splattered on the little girl's face.
The thin man's head fell to the ground. His expression was one of shock.
A figure suddenly appeared behind him!
[Skill Slit Throat successfully activated!]
[Adding Element of Surprise … Effect * 2]
[Target killed! Obtained 22 Slaughter EXP]
Marvin's full-powered attack, coupled with the buff from Slit Throat, actually had the same effect as the super skill of the Tier 3 Red Road Hunter, [Decapitation]!
Ma Wen's sudden appearance caught the thin man's companion off guard. He wanted to take out his weapon to defend himself. Unfortunately, Ma Wen's left hand slashed with the machete accurately on his head!
Humans were the most fragile creatures. Although they had health points, once they were hit in the vital parts, they would undoubtedly die!
The poor guy's brain burst and his body twitched violently. Then, he collapsed.
The two chefs were scared silly.
The little girl struggled to raise her head and looked at Ma Wen.
Her eyes were very bright. Deep in her pupils, there was a touch of crimson that was different from ordinary people.
"What is your name?" Ma Wen asked softly, ignoring the two chefs who were quietly hiding under the table.
The little girl looked at Ma Wen who was wearing a mask and holding two machetes. Unexpectedly, she was not afraid. She only said weakly, "Isabelle."
"A very noble name." Ma Wen said.
"My father gave it to me." Isabelle said.
"Tell me, when they beat you, why didn't you beg for mercy or run away?" Ma Wen looked at her.
The little girl gritted her teeth and said, "This is the only way for me."
This was the only way. Otherwise, her seriously ill mother would inevitably die. She had no other choice. She would rather be beaten to death by the gang members.
"What's going on?"
The two guards who were inspecting the goods on the truck rushed into the kitchen in surprise. They smelled blood.
Ma Wen quickly turned around and silently passed through the shelves.
The two guards only saw the little girl and two corpses in the corner.
While they were still in shock, Marvin took a step out of their blind spot and leaped high into the air. Then, he slashed down with his sabers in both hands!
With this momentum, the two guards did not even have time to pull out their weapons before their heads were split open.
This was the power of dual wielding! His left and right hands were very balanced. He could even multitask and attack two targets at the same time!
The smell of blood in the kitchen was even thicker. However, it was not a big problem for now. The people in the tavern would only think that it was a slaughter.
Seeing this horrible and bloody scene, Isabelle took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "You are an enemy of the Akron gang, right?"
"I will kill them all tonight," Ma Wen replied.
He did not neglect her because she was a little girl. Her stubbornness had won his respect.
"Do you need a guide?" The little girl staggered over, her eyes bright. "I know every member of the Akron gang. I know what they have done."
"I know that their boss is hiding in the basement in the backyard. I know the way. "
Ma Wen smiled and rubbed Isabelle's head. "You are very brave."
With that, he tossed her a dagger.
"Take this, Miss Isabelle. Tonight, we have a common enemy."
Holding the dagger, the little girl seemed to have completely transformed. She took a deep breath and asked, "Where should we start? Assassination? "
"No." Ma Wen kicked open the kitchen door and put away his knives. "We will kill our way in," he said calmly.
…
As soon as they entered the tavern, Ma Wen did not plan to hide anymore.
Although he had been good at it in his previous life, he was now a ranger, not a thief.
His ability to fight head-on was much stronger than in his previous life. His footwork, knife skills, and even experience were leagues ahead of these gangsters. Now that he was Level 3, he was basically on par with these gangsters. One against ten was no joke.
They were just a bunch of mobs.
When Ma Wen kicked open the kitchen door, a gangster immediately pulled out a knife and rushed over.
A gangster with a knife. Level 3. He had 78 health points!
Unfortunately, they were all wearing cloth clothes and no armor. Without armor, the health points of humans were nothing. Especially in front of a super expert like Ma Wen, who was good at deadly attacks.
Clang! The blades of both sides clashed. Ma Wen was at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
But with a flick of his wrist, the curved knife slid down along the edge of the opponent's knife. Suddenly, with a strange turn, the blade cut the opponent's wrist!
"Ah!"
A blood-curdling scream attracted everyone's attention!
The entire tavern was in an uproar!
Someone was looking for trouble! And it looked like they would not rest until one of them was dead.
The spectators retreated to the side and watched the scene with excitement. The Akron gang was a newly rising power. There must be people who did not like them for a long time.
Who knew which gang was it this time?
But when they saw that there was only a masked knife-wielding man and a badly battered little girl, they were disappointed.
"So it's a reckless adventurer."
"Looks like he's a dual-wielding Ranger. He has some skills, but he's alone. Isn't he looking for death?"
"Yeah, we can't watch this show for long."
After all, this was the Akron gang's territory. They had the home field advantage and more than 20 strong members. Two of the squads were made up of true professionals, and they were Diafis' trusted subordinates.
In their eyes, this low-level adventurer was dead for sure.
While the people were talking, Ma Wen had already ended the life of the member.
The little girl found an opportunity and slipped into the crowd. She did not want to be a burden to Ma Wen.
"Kill him!" A deep voice sounded.
Six uniformed professionals came out of the crowd and surrounded Ma Wen in the center of the venue.
Two thieves, three knife-wielding men, and one with an unknown profession, probably a gangster.
Ma Wen's eyes swept over. He did not need to scout to know the result.
One against six seemed a little tricky, especially in a situation where he was surrounded.
"This guy is dead for sure!" Someone in the crowd said with schadenfreude.
The three knife-wielding men roared and rushed over.
Marvin smiled coldly. Suddenly, he dashed to the bar counter at the side and leaped!
He jumped onto the beam!
18 points of Dexterity allowed him to do many things that normal people could not.
Too bad I don't have the ability to leap onto roofs and vault over walls. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble!
Marvin thought to himself, but his footsteps were unusually agile. He quickly jumped over a few beams, and then kicked one of the pillars.
In an instant, he was behind one of the knife-wielding men!
Using the momentum of his fall, he flipped the machete in his hand and crossed it like a pair of scissors!
Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, the knife-wielding man instinctively raised his machete in an attempt to parry.
Clang! The machete was parried. A deep wound appeared on the left side of the knife-wielding man's neck!
"Ah!" A scream resounded through the tavern. Ma Wen expressionlessly stabbed him and sent him to the afterlife.
"Damn!" The other five almost went crazy.
They pounced on him in one breath.
Ma Wen kicked a table. The table was sent flying and smashed into two knife-wielding men.
His footsteps were swift as he pounced on one of the thieves!
